Yep, that's right folks, a mall sized used book sale.
Laurel Park Place - Livonia Mall. I was there yesterday and it was everything I hoped it would be, besides the hundreds of people.
Let me just create this picture for you- I bought FIVE books, current books (one being hardcover), for $16.00. That's insane. If I bought all these books at Borders it would run me about 60 dollars or more. This is why I was in HEAVEN on Sunday.
These are the five books I bought:
1- Bergdorf Blondes By Plum Sykes
2- The Kite Runner By Khaled Hosseini
3- Prep By Curtis Sittenfeld
4- My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult
5- Waters for Elephants by Sara Gruen
Now, I didn't even read the back of these books. I picked these by popularity and reviews from amazon I had read prior.
The funny thing is, I'm not reading ANY of those right now. I've put my attention back onto Harry Potter and the Half Blood Price, which is coming out in theaters soon.
For those of you who love to read, Harry Potter is something else in it's own right. I actually see a lot of similarities between the Potter series and the Lord of the Ring series - which I enjoy.
I love the feeling where you can't wait to get back home to open up a really good book, maybe with a glass of wine. That's where my head is at right now.
